Who will back down first, desperate workers trying to raise families, or slave driving employers who want to make profits from razor thin margins? The system has been broken by gigantic conglomerates (Amazon, Walmart and other big box stores) that control the markets

I had a client who was a CPA ... he said unemployment was paying out to much money ... I asked him if he could live on what these people were being paid ... He said NO ... I said the answer is simple ... pay the workers more money and they'll come back to work!

Until the minimum wage is raised to $23/hr and until we have universal healthcare, the government is not serious about eradicating poverty. If we want to truly be the Land of Opportunity, we must have these two things.

What is your source wages are too low? In Ohio, places are hiring $15 - $22 hr for unskilled, full benefits and sign on bonus of $250 to $1,000. Check your sources. It's a culture that doesn't want to work fulltime and have flexibility. Low wages maybe geographic, but an excuse.

Democracy dies in darkness when the wealthiest man on the planet charges readers to view his online content. To which I refuse to do. Apparently the ad revenue wasn't enough for the corporate online media. 🙄
